Dear all ,
I am starting this thread as there are numerous threads where people have given strong points on saying , this is not a Sikh, that is not a Sikh.
I want to know what we all believe , perceive, expect , assume , want, wish, understand or know what a Sikh is.
In simple word what is required minimum to be called a Sikh. There is no limit on the maximum so we don’t need to talk about that on this thread.
Try to be brief.
Feel Free to be a part of this learning process.
I hope this is going to be a good learning opportunity for all involved.
Different views are welcome.
You could try to make your point by indicating your source, it could be your understanding, friend ‘s advice , family view, book, a saint, a religious person, Rehtnama, Shabad, What Guru Sahib is saying according to your understanding, organisation , website , feeling , even just a though of a moment, or have heard about, anything at all you have to say.
Please be honest and open about it is a learning process so be part of it.
Just remember it is about the minimum requirement to be called a Sikh .
====== Just to get started===========
Some most common things appear to be are:
1. Born in Sikh Family
2. Amritdhari
3. 5 K’s on somebody make them a Sikh
………and so on …..
above 3 are some of the prevailing ideas. They are not my belief or understanding I have written to just to get things started.
Main thing is feel free and contribute.
Thanks
A Singh
